This version did not feature on Some Velvet Morning - Eleven Covers back in February over on the excellent How Marvellous, although Thin White Rope's definitive rendition did, alongside several other hitherto undiscovered gems. In hindsight, I am glad, since it provides me the opportunity to dig out this equally marvellous slowburning version of the Lee Hazlewood classic, from Vanilla Fudge's fourth album release which originally made #16 on the US Billboard charts.
Carmine Appice: drums, vocals;
Tim Bogert: bass, vocals;
Vince Martell: guitar, vocals;
Mark Stein: lead vocals, keyboards.
Engineered by Eddie Kramer and Tony Bongiovi.

As a bonus bordering on excess, given the unseemly length of these jams, I have also included the Carmine Appice composition "Where Is Happiness" - engineered this time by Bob Hughes, and following directly on the back of "Some Velvet Morning" - to demonstrate how this original piece feeds off the group's exemplary Hazlwood reinterpratation.
It seems unfairly rude to edit the two into one somehow. Don't "Bogert" the joint.

Vanilla Fudge? Now, you're going to have to post some Mountain. ;-)
It's a slippery slope, alright. :)
